RSPA will hold a public meeting on Thursday, February 17, 2000, from 9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m to continue the efforts to prevent damage to underground facilities, as identified in last year's Common Ground Study. RSPA is facilitating the establishment of an organization to advance underground facility damage prevention. RSPA has established four teams: by-laws, finance, membership, and nominating. The purpose of this meeting is to provide a forum for these teams and interested public to begin the development of this damage prevention organization. ADDRESSES: The public meeting will be held at the Sheraton International Hotel at BWI, 7032 Elm Road BWI Airport, MD. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Eben M. Wyman, (202) 366-0918, or by e-mail at eben.wyman@rspa.dot.gov.
